Set Description:
The best there is!
This set has been my labor of love for over 2 decades now. The McFarlane cover art was literally what got me into collecting comics.
My 9.9 Regular, Silver, Gold and Gold w/UPC were the first CGC graded comics I ever bought... and I did so with the intention of having a complete set one day.
I'm almost there :-)
My pursuit of this set gradually turned into a genuine love for comics and the Marvel Universe. Over the years, the hobby has turned into an obsession that branched out to action figures as well.
I've had the privilege of meeting Todd McFarlane once, and had a few opportunities to meet and talk with Stan Lee. I first met Stan at San Diego Comic-con, and then a few more times in both Seattle and Chicago.
The last time I saw him, I gave him several pictures of me in a Spider-Man costume while I was on my last deployment to Iraq. I'll never forget his reaction; his smile and laughter will forever be one of my fondest memories.
He was an amazing story teller and a man you just couldn't help but love.
I'm happy that he lived long enough to see both Marvel comics and the characters he created finally given the attention they deserved on the silver-screen, and that he finally received the recognition he soo justly deserved/earned for his life's work. He will forever be missed and his legacy will forever be remembered because we protect and preserve his precious works.
I've had the top ranked Spider-Man set for some time now, and hope it will remain so for many years to come. This set is, and will always be, my favorite collection.
Excelsior!!!
